For me, the best recent video game soundtrack is from Nier: Automata

Another great OST that comes to mind is from Hollow Knight.

Hollow Knight is easily my favorite. Such a great soundtrack.

Nier Automata would come second.

The soundtrack of FF7r is also a 10/10 in my book.

<--- Totally worth it

Studiopolis Act 1 from Sonic Mania was also the first track that came to my mind but since t's already mentioned, and rightfully so, I'll pick something else instead.

I could go on.

One recent game I forgot to include in my previous post is the FFVII remake. Just a perfect example of how to rearrange an existing score while staying true to the style and tone of the original. Easily my favourite video game score from last year.
